Unoriginal

Mock tudor with fake mouldings to match

and heavy imitation antiques 

-your best attempt at authenticity-

but it’s a replica life that you lead.

Your parroted opinions almost seem genuine,

yet something doesn't quite ring true. 

How many times have you practised them?

And is any of it really coming from you?

You're like a small-time tribute band,

never quite pulling off the act.

You’ve got the look and you've got the songs,

but you're unexciting and that’s a fact.

You're so damn unoriginal 

you put Brian’s followers to shame,

your show is about as convincing

as a big-boned pantomime dame.

You're transparent and we see through you:

an unchallenging red top read.

Why continue to feign authenticity?

We know it’s a replica life that you lead.
